Genesis 33:16-20

16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 17But Jacob journeyed to 12Succoth, and built for himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth.

18Now Jacob came safely to the city of 3Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from 4Paddan-aram, and camped before the city. 195He bought the plot of land where he had pitched his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred 6pieces of money. 20Then he erected there an altar and called it 7El-Elohe-Israel.
